Business Rating Valuation

• It is not possible to search all of the 760 (380 year 1995 and 380 year 2000) local rating lists in England and Wales held on this web site in one go. You can only search the rating assessments for properties in one local rating list (i.e. the area covered by a single billing authority) at a time.
• Every search on these lists must start with the name of a billing authority. It is possible to display and scroll through all the rating assessments for a billing authority – a number of records at a time. Alternatively it is also possible to narrow the selection of properties viewed by entering various options.
• At any time when using this application, you can return to this page by clicking on the “Menu” button at the top of each page or click on the “Help/Business Info” button for information relating to each page.

After locating the entry you wish to “appeal” against on one of the following screens, ‘New Addresses’, ‘Search Results’, ‘Alterations to List and History’, or the ‘Full Case Details’, click on the “Appeal” button at the top of the page.

This application includes copies of statutorily compiled rating lists to enable anyone to ascertain the state of any one of these lists. Local Rating lists will show an entry for each “relevant” non- domestic hereditament (property) in England and Wales. These do not include wholly domestic properties, or those wholly exempt from rating. They will include the rateable portion of a partly domestic or exempt property. Hereditaments that are required to be shown in either the English or Welsh Central Lists will not be shown. Central lists are not displayed on the Internet. There is a separate list for each Billing Authority. They are a record of the rateable values of most of the non-domestic (eg commercial, industrial) and composite (part non-domestic and part domestic) properties in England and Wales. Every Billing Authority area has its own Rating List. A Valuation Officer compiles and maintains a Rating List under a statutory duty imposed by the Local Government Finance Act 1988. There are 23 valuation officers and supporting network of 80+ valuation offices throughout England and Wales. Th VOA web site contains the current 2000 non domestic rating list as well as the 1995 non domestic Rating List. They both display lists of entries for non-domestic property for each Billing Authority Area. A 1995 Rating List had effect from 1st April 1995 until 31st March 2000, when it was superseded by a 2000 Rating List. Appeals may be made against any of the entries shown in the 2000 rating lists, from 1st April 2000 when the lists came into force. Crown Copyright 2005
